When it comes to everyday life...

This might offend some and im not sure if I'm even making sense. This isn't up for debate so don't go there but I like to believe in a higher power and the supernatural but when it comes to everyday life situations I think that im too much of a realist sometimes. I've posted a few threads about the guy with cancer, right? I mean it's good to keep hope alive but am I weird for not putting much faith in prayer and it's supposed powers? People think that things are happening because they've been praying or at least thats what they've been posting (They might be keeping up appearences...) and I just roll my eyes. I mean, I hope the guy beats this but with the amount of cancer he supposedly has and the radiation therapy to me it seems doubtful... Am I being a downer or just being realistic about the situation?

I think that sometimes the mind can have a lot of power over the body, and there's always luck. So although things might look bad for your friend, if he has the right attitude he could pull through easier than if he mentally gave in - I think there was a study that showed people who stayed positive were more likely to get better, faster, from a variety of illnesses.

I don't believe prayer has any actual power. But I do believe that if someone truly believed that praying will help them get well, they're more likely to get better than someone drowning in their own negative thoughts.
